About This Item
Warne VG/VG. dj is clean and bright, unclipped and without blemish. ffep has a small previous owner plate - otherwise no inscriptions or marginalia. Built as an impregnable defence against a repeat German invasion of France following WWI, this impressive, expensive and extensive system of fortifications was neither complete or effective when the enemy again attacked. In this excellent appraisal of the "Line" Kemp traces the back ground political and military reasons for its construction, the actual building work, the innovation and technical skills employed, its status and effectiveness when WWII began, its performance and effect on early operations, the blitzkreig of 1940
